Hi all:

Here's my situation:  I have a LAVC, consisting of two VAXStations.  I also 
have a Mac IIcx, connected via the serial port.  I use a terminal program 
on the Mac to talk to the VAX at 19,200 bps. 

I want to be able to print PostScript files from both systems on a 
soon-to-be-bought PostScript printer.  What is the best (i.e., most 
reliable, fastest, cheapest - preferably all three!  :) method for doing 
this?  I believe that I need to connect the Mac to the Ethernet cable and 
then get a program like Pathworks or something like that.

Has anyone done this recently?  I'm open to all suggestions, and I'll post 
a summary if there's interest.

Thanks in advance!
